About this listen

The story of Olive and Mabel, Labrador retrievers who rose to internet fame as the subjects of Andrew Cotter's BBC sports parodies.

When sporting events were put on hold in March 2020, commentator Andrew Cotter shifted to working from home. The one-on-one competitors? His two Labrador retrievers, Olive and Mabel. In the hilarious videos that ensued, the dogs engage in various contests, from bone-snatching and breakfast-eating to crushing it on the dog walk, while Cotter narrates to hilarious effect. The scene of Mabel, simply standing still in a fetid pond was one of the most popular. Why? Because this is how dogs live, and Cotter captured it with humor and joy. It's why the series has been viewed more than 50 million times, entertaining dog owners, sports fans, and celebrities around the world. Olive and Mabel are more than online celebrities, however, as revealed in this charming narrative.

Filled with stories about how Cotter fell in love with his dogs, his passion for hiking with them through the glens and over the peaks of his native Scotland, and the ongoing relationship between Olive and Mabel (particularly the "competitive fire" lit during these days of quarantine), the memoir is by turns side-splittingly funny and thoughtfully tender. It's sure to resonate with all dog lovers.

Totally entertaining

I’ve had a dog most of my life. I can identify with his descriptions, but he says them in such a dry, humorous way! I smoked through most of the book and laughed out loud very many times. He brought back many memories (although I’ve never climbed a monroe, let alone with dogs). I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants something light, easy and amusing.

Best dog book ever

I’ve listened to this book 3 times since downloading it two weeks ago. Required reading for anyone who has a sense of humor and who has ever or will ever love a dog.

What a great account of the special bond we humans have with our beloved 4-legged companions. Will definitely give it another listen in the future.

Fantastic dog book

This book is fun, funny, and heartwarming. I just finished my first listen and I’ll probably start it again right away. Highly recommended.
